Jeremiah 8:
Even the stork in the sky knows her appointed seasons, and the dove, the swift and the thrush observe
the time of their migration. But my people do not know the requirements of the Lord.
This verse is super interesting to me. It talks of how birds
in the sky know the seasons and they observe them, so that they know when to
migrate. Birds are migrating now, to the
south, for the winter season.
The last part seems to imply that people aren’t so wise. It seems to imply that God has appointed
seasons in our lives, as well, but instead of migrating and using our
God-inspired sense to move and follow his Spirit, we whine about the season we’re
in or the one behind us, or the one ahead of us.
Birds survive all four seasons because they’ve learned to
migrate.
If you’re starving, experiencing too much heat, caving under
the wind pressure, or being beat up by torrential rains, perhaps you need to
listen for His Spirit, and ask him to guide you to safety in your season…He will. He is our rock, he covers us with his wings, he's our strong tower, and our hiding place.
And just as the birds know…spring always comes round again
because the Creator set the seasons in motion... we should know it too.
